Heard a pop, now nothing works

So I went to hop on my CB900 this morining to go to work. Turned the bike over a few times then heard a "pop" and then nothing. No turning over, no idiot lights, nothing. Bike has been running fine accept for a charging issue. I changed out the stator last weekend. PO had changed everything else in the system. The pop came from under the seat and I'm wondering if there is a master relay or something under the seat. Any advise out there?

It's only illegal if you get caught.

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

95% of Harley Davidsons ever made are still on the road... The other 5% made it home.

There are a lot of wires and systems under the seats.

There is also a master fuse. If you had a short the 30 amp fuse would blow. If it is blown don't replace it with a heavy wire, as a bad short will quickly fry your harness.

Yeah, I know its a web under there. It sounded like a relay or fuse kinda pop. So the master is under there and not in the fuse box on the handle bars? Guess I'll have to do a little digging when I get home, thanks for the info.

My friends CB 900 F had a little strip of metal, for the main. When it blew I wired in a spade fuse.
